Dear Mom and family,

So as for my favorite part of the mission, I
could be here all day because I love every part! hahaha A few things that have been my favorite are
1) Being able to use the enabling power of the atonement to change. I have
changed so much and I have seen so many people change through the power of the
atonement. The atonement doesn't help us to adapt, it helps us to change our
nature, everything about us! Our deepest desires, our hearts, our thoughts, and
our personality! I love my Savior and
how through Him I can see people how He see's them. 2) I have really loved
learning about the gospel and watching the light come into people as they begin
to understand the doctrine and apply it in their life. That’s where the true
knowledge of the gospel comes in, it’s in the application! I have so many other
things and not enough time!! hahahaha
Ask me when we are skyping and I will give you the whole answer hahaha
sorry!! I wish i could type faster!! hahaha

So as for your week! You
guys are incredible! I started playing Christmas music of course the day after Halloween
and the roommates weren't too stoked about it! hahaha But hey, I just like
remembering the birth of my Savior sooner. Truth is-- Elder Krogue and I might
of had Christmas days when we were together! hahahaha Your week sounds awesome! Mom I wish I was
there for that lesson-- that sounds incredible! It’s great to hear
everyone is killing it though! Carlee winning regional, that’s what I’m talking
about!! hahaha

My week was NUTS!! hahaha Just thing after
thing happened and now I’m here emailing you guys hahaha! So on Wednesday
in the afternoon, our car broke down so we had to drive it to Wenatchee to the
dealership and blitz the zone leaders area there. We then slept on the floor
because we had mlc on Thursday (a meeting with all zone leaders and sister
leaders) so we drove down to Yakima hoping that the car would be done. Well, turns out the car wasn’t finished so we
had to spend another night on the floor and then finally got to drive home! We
then had a meeting in Coulee Dam which is an hour away. Then we drove back because we had to interview some baptismal candidates for another
ward. The next day we had another
meeting way off in Coulee with the whole zone this time and it took
awhile. We came back and there was a
crash on our way to dinner so we had to stay there for awhile and
witness/translate for the cop! hahaha Then
it was Sunday... it was crazy!! hahaha
The best part is--not going to lie,
I was a little frustrated because I really wanted to proselyte and
things but I was praying and it was weird-- I just really felt like it was all
ok. It was all out of my control and God knows what He is doing! I realized that
everyday on the mission God has a special plan for and if we listen to the
spirit we will have an incredible day!

I love the mission so much guys and everyday
out here is the best day ever! I love serving my Savior and wearing his name on
my chest! This gospel is true and everything about it is pure and simple and
peaceful! I love you guys so much and miss you a ton!
